The divisions of Bangladesh are divided into 64[1] districts, or zila ([জেলা jela] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)). The districts are further subdivided into 493 sub-districts or towns, or upazila (উপজেলা upojela).
Each district is run by a Deputy Commissioner (popularly abbreviated to "DC") who is appointed by the government from a Deputy secretary of B.C.S. Administration Cadre.
